Here is probably my favourite Velvet Underground track. I'm not sure why, I love the lazy almost plodding tempo of the track it sort of gets under my skin. Lou Reed later re-recorded the track along with a few other Velvets songs for his first solo album but that version loses all the subtlety and is vastly inferior to this one.
I have a feeling that Michael and Margo Timmings had listened to this track a few times before they covered Sweet Jane on The Trinity Sessions.

Sometimes I think I only need The Velvets.
I know how you feel Mr H but you would also need The Fall, surely?
Loaded and the one with Pale Blue Eyes are my fave albums - but this is perhaps my favourite track - Guess I'm Falling in Love (Instrumental Version) I heard it in Virgin, spring 86 and it stopped me on the spot.
PS recording a new podcast tonight, and I'm chipping a Fall cover in
I'm also chipping in The Wolfmen doing a Velvets cover..
sounds good Mond.
There's something about the 2 post John Cale albums which is very special. Lou Reed's solo career though- what a mess. He's made a little go a very long way
ah lou with your flip up glasses business. who'd've thought
